A 57-year-old Indian farmer, Ravindra Metkar, has been invited to share his poultry business insights at the University of Oxford's Global Research Conference.

Metkar, who once struggled to afford clothes, built a poultry empire with an annual turnover of ₹15 crore.

He launched his poultry farming venture from his house terrace in 1984 with ₹3,000 and has since expanded to 1.8 lakh birds spread over 50 acres.

Metkar's success story has inspired him to guide other farmers, and he has delivered talks at various agriculture colleges across India and abroad.

He will speak at the Oxford conference on 'AI for Every Mind' from May 1 to 5.
